to be honest it’s also an extremely effective method to turn people away from communism. when people describe marxism or communist projects (as in real AES) they can slander them as idealist and marx as that even though he would have a conniption because his body of work was dedicated to the opposite so fervently. then the scientific socialists, the dictatorial tankies, coexist with the label of fanciful stupid idealists whose beliefs can never translate to reality and are incoherent so please don’t actually read what marx said thanks
